The majority of the texts included in the m ..."
"This book addresses a basic question in differential geometry that was first considered by physicists Stanley Deser and Adam Schwimmer in 1993 in their study of conformal anomalies.

Nous les verrons à travers une double opération de recyclage de la matière rejetée et ..."
